Is Winx bigger than Makybe Diva now- ? I used to follow horses but haven't been for a while now- I never saw Makybe but she has a statue erected to her in Port Lincoln- its beautiful- I just read that Makybe died in 2013- skull fracture - I didnt even know she was a clever girl

Its like apples and oranges. Makybediva was an utter freak at distance races. The greatest I've ever seen.
When it comes to the Cups, she is a standalone freak. In recent racing history, Ethereal, who won two straight comes close. (Caulfield/Melbourne Cup)

Winx doesn't run at those stayer distances, but she is incredibly versatile, and probably could win a Caulfield or Melbourne Cup, she is that good. But her owners and trainer are nurturing her. She could go on undefeated for years, barring bad luck, always a factor.

I love horses, but I don't necessarily love the Racing Industry.

Same and I am sorry I stopped taking any notice because of it- I have missed out on a lot esp Maykybe Diva and Im now missing out on Winx- but now tuning back in- where i live commercial tv so bad - not worth having- and i miss out on all the racing because of it- channel 7 streams it live i think- will have to check that out-

Channel Seven actually put a half an hour into the Race meet. I thank them for that....

Really poor form from Ch 7.
But the interviews with Waller before and after the race were excellent.
And Bowman?? told us the truth... she'd win with just about any capable jockey on her back. Well said Hugh Bowman.

Winx the Magnificent won her 27th straight race today.
Also her 20th Group One win. She has won 30 of 36 races, the last 27 consecutively.

She is now the 5th highest stakes winner in racing history, worldwide. The rest of the Spring Carnival, including the WS Cox Plate is likely to see her reach the top of that field.. as well.

Her next likely race is a lead-up race to her 4th COX PLATE win coming to your screens soon.

could be the Turnbull stakes, in 3 weeks. Not sure if that is confirmed yet.

Watched the Ch 7 broadcast from about 1.00 pm.. not bad … but oh those lily-livered commentators... When it came to the race...

Winx was running absolutely true to her normal pattern. Bowman, for some reason decided to hit her with the whip a couple of times. (arsehole)
Coming up to the real race... the last 400 mtr.. she knew what she was doing … he's just sitting on her back to make it legal...

and the commentators, all gasped... oh NO. .. I mean really they all should have known better
than to DOUBT THE MIGHTY WINX.

Looks like we have some significant new challengers for Winx in the next Cox Plate, NEXT SATURDAY.!! I'm so excited

The world has come to take her on, and the rest of the Spring Carnival ribbons.!

The Caulfield Cup, yesterday, shows us a whole new brace of challengers,...….. Northern Hemisphere (NH) horses, brought here to win the major races this Spring Carnival. The first five place-getters in the race were ALL from the NH. A clear dominance, ..a lesson in class.
It also applied in some other races...

The field for The 2018 WS COX PLATE is going to be fascinating.

This could be the race of her life... but she'll win as long as she has no accidents or bad luck.
Winx the Magnificent is in for the race of her life..!!!
Bowman MUST show his class as well, because this is THE RACE for WINX.
4 consecutive WS COX PLATE wins
